[@lana.d.torres]

the more i think about the book the less i like it is so real LOL sometimes all it takes for my opinion to shift is like one bad review that has me like wait... they're right 😭

[@EmilyFraser-Read]

You're telling me I opened KZbin to a Heather video posted NINE SECONDS AGO??? ICONIC cant wait 10/10

[@ashthebibliophage]

I loved Circe, but I don't think any other book will ever make me feel the way The Song of Achilles did. It is incredible.

[@morgan22255]

I have a friend who didn’t really love Circe (she thought it was boring😔) but Song of Achilles is in her top 3 books! So I would still give it a shot🤞

[@lizbrown5337]

Agreed!!! I actually DNF’d and gave Circe away….. but Song of Achilles is in my top 10 most beautiful books ever!

[@alexiam1587]

still read song of achilles! it's stunninggggg

[@freddiecharlesworth5291]

I felt the same way about Circe it was so meh for me but ADORED song of Achilles! So I say give it a chance because I so agree with you

[@venesahusar8420]

Love you Heather! You inspired me to start my own channel 🥹

[@Lonelygravesidewriter]

I like Circe, but The Song of Achilles has my hole heart❤️ I definitely think you should still give it a go!

[@madisonsyring5705]

I read Circe before TSOA and they’re so different (although I love both). TSOA is a beautiful coming of age story and has a lot more dynamic elements compared to Circe. Even if you’re not into greek mythology, TSOA can be read like fantasy because the way she builds the characters and relationships feels so much more like you’re on a journey with them compared to hashing out lineage and the dynamics of the gods like what happens in Circe. TSOA truly changed my life and will remain my favorite book even if objectively better books are written. I always say that if I could’ve written any book that exists, I would choose that one!!! I hope you love it!!

[@Bookish_Melissa]

Wait till you read Madison Wrights next in the series Only in Your Dreams. I just finished an ARC of it. 5 stars, so good, even better than the first.

[@lindseymoon8322]

Ok Heather you obiviousllllyy love dads so read “The Match” by Sarah Adams. It’s in her back log and 😚😚 so good! Enjoy!

[@vhsagustd]

I am currently at work rn (Barnes & Noble 💜✨) and I receiving the books rn and watching your video!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@meganb6722]

i feel the same way about everything i know about love. it just hit

[@kaavya5154]

I was literally waiting for your tier ranking video like crazy 🫶🏻🎀

[@risababyy]

Read song of Achilles! I care about Greek mythology and totally am on the same page as you with Circe - beautiful reading but what was the point? (IMO)

[@rebeccasreads]

I'd say definitely read the Song of Achilles. Circe's story is kind of odd because she was a side character of MENs stories in greek mythology, which is why the book is a little off (like no main build up to a key plot point - i found this off first too until i realised why). Whereas the Song of Achilles, is more like a traditional story given the main characters are male. I would say the two books aren't comparable, but Song of Achilles is the reason I now read and had me SOBBING

[@alexismrs.bookdragon2970]

I could not get into Song of Achilles😢 I was listening to an audiobook so maybe that was why? But I was not hooked at all…yet everyone loves it. 25:27

[@RaeWilson5]

NEVER BEEN SAT AND CLICKED ON A VIDEO SO FAST 🙏🥰

[@bryannamarie9609]

The Song of Achilles is my all time favorite book. I’ve never read a book with such poetic writing that wasn’t a straight up classic. This story has love and grief. You don’t need to be interested in Greek mythology to enjoy it. I read it before I read Circe and honestly I loved Circe but it did fall kinda flat for me compared to The Song of Achilles.

[@readwithren]

I felt the same way about Circe. I did not get it. But Song of Achilles is one of my favorites ever!! So much better than Circe imo because there's a plot.

[@gia5034]

Love you heather ❤ your videos are my Roman empire

GREAT VIDEO!!! 💖💖💖

[@skatermage]

u are amazing 🥰

[@grimviolins]

Thought Circe was pretty, but it just didn’t feel invested. Song of Achilles though.. oof.. it is gorgeous and also devastating.

[@she5139]

i haven't read circe but song of achilles was a huge disappointment for me. the writing was just OK and the story didnt give "tragic love story" vibes at all . achilles did the most to piss me off lol

[@EffieKing-qu8uo]

Ahhh im the first comment!!! Love you so much heather

[@keayannadavis9836]

circe is boring! but song of achilles is worth it! bring back yearninggggg

[@melaineeyh]

it feels illegal to be this early haha 🤍

[@giuliabricot]

I heard that Ninth House would be 5 books, it’s really gonna be a trilogy ?

[@HeatherMcLarry]

I might be wrong but I was told it was supposed to be 5 books but they made the decision to condense it into three!

[@giuliabricot]

@@HeatherMcLarry i didn’t have that update ! I like trilogies better

[@madisongilbert707]

Ahaha the category 'good books, but didn't fully do it for me' should rebrand to 'good books, but not quite worth a kidney' 😂

[@HeatherMcLarry]

Oooo I’ll do this next time😂😂

[@alannapowell3887]

24:20 I DNF'd Song of Achilles about 40% through, it felt so boring and repetitive to me

Not her hating all of the POC books😭jeez

@@shanialanae1169 this is a wild comment considering I didn’t say anything about hating any book???

The songs of Achilles is one of the few 5 star books I’ve read this year. Give it a try 🥹
